A Million Moments

4,662 to 296,660, to 1,483,300.

That’s the difference in the amount of words your child will have been exposed to by age five, says a study in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. 4,662 if they are never read to. 296,660 if you read one book a day. And 1,483,300 if you read five books a day.

Now, think of the quality time spent with your child during each one of those words.

I want a million moments. Don’t you?
